Changing startup directory...

When installing Pro/E, there is a option to select a starting directory. Would this change the place that Pro/E that Pro/E looks for config files? I would like to have all my files in one main folder and different subfolders of the main.
 
It sets the 'Start In' field for the shortcut icon which controls the startup folder for Pro|E. Pro|E looks for config files in these places, in this order:

  1. <LI>config.sup in \loadpoint\text</LI>
    <LI>config.pro in \loadpoint\text</LI>
    <LI>The User's 'Home' directory as defined by Windows environment variable</LI>
    <LI>Start up folder (start in field in the shortcut properties)</LI>


You can change the startup folder by RMB on the icon used to launch Pro|E, selecting Properties and changing the Start In field.
 
Just for info sake number 4 was what i needed. I keep all my files under one directory including my startup mapkey that load my other config.pro, etc.
